    Ok, I just bought this car a couple days ago.
    I love it! But there is a problem...

    When i put the key in the ignition and start up the engine
    the blinkers ac and cooling fan will not work unless i play
    with the key and get in the right spot, but lately i can not
    find "that spot" I think there a shot somewhere idk what i need to replace..
    I tried to replace the ignition cylinder and that didn't help at all!


    PLEASE HELP!

    Sounds to me like it is your ignition SWITCH, not cylinder.

    Definitely the ignition switch. I used to have the exact same problem. I replaced in less than 20 minutes. Pretty straight forward.

    i already replaced it though and nothing happened...
    the previous owner said that he already changed it once and he was sure
    it was the cylinder but i did replace it like i said and it didn't fix the problem
